Chapter Ten: Let's Get Some Sunshine
I was exhausted and it was almost 11:30PM when I got back to the apartment. I stumbled inside before dropping my bag and coat on the floor and collapsing onto the couch in the living room. As tired as I was, I knew I couldn't sleep. Not until I heard his voice.
Reaching into my pocket, I searched for my phone before hitting contacts and calling his number. I hoped he'd pick up. I needed to hear his voice.
"Baby I miss you." Harry's low, raspy voice spoke.
I let out a small smile and bit my lip, God I missed him so much.
"Oh trust me, I miss you too." I complained, my voice wishing he'd come home.
"Eva, don't do this to me." He begged, hearing the desperation in my voice.
"I'm sorry Harry." I slightly giggled
"I just miss you so much. I wish I could see you right now." It was true. Right then and there I would've given anything to be in his arms again.
"You know you can right?" he hinted at an idea
"What do you mean?" I didn't follow…
"Book a flight to L.A. right now. You can be here by morning, and I promise you'll love it. It's warm and there's sun, the lads miss you too, you can come to the studios and watch us record some stuff. And when we're doing meet and greets you can shop or swim at the hotel." He tempted me, and I didn't have to think twice.
"Okay." I said.
I just needed to be with him. London was getting so lonely.
"Eva are you serious? Don't joke with me…" he asked sternly and I couldn't help but laugh at how surprised he sounded.
"Mhhm! I'll book a flight now, pack my things and be on the first flight out." I smiled, suddenly I wasn't tired anymore.
"Oh God Eva, thank you! I promise you'll love L.A. I cannot wait to see you!" he sounded even more excited than me.
I stayed on the phone to Harry the entire time I was packing, telling him all about Eric and Sasha and the runway show. He was really supportive and now more than ever I was truly confused as to why I hadn't told him sooner. I hung up when the taxi came to take me to the airport and told Harry I'd see him soon.
Finally I'd be able to wear my summer wardrobe! Being an Aussie girl I was used to 30-40 degree days and had to admit, the weather in London had been a real disappointment. After a short taxi ride I found myself at the airport and boarding a flight to L.A. I couldn't wait to see Harry and the boys.
I spent majority of the flight sleeping and watching the online movies. But after what felt like forever the pilot finally announced we had arrived and would be landing shortly. My heart skipped a beat and I began to squirm in my chair. I was finally going to see the boys! I'd miss them all so much.
